PITTSBURGH, PA, October 30, 2025 – Howmet Aerospace (NYSE: HWM) today reported third quarter 2025 results. The Company reported record third quarter 2025 revenue

of $2.09 billion, up 14% year over year, driven by growth in the commercial aerospace market of 15%, growth in the defense aerospace

market of 24%, and growth in the industrial and other market of 18%, partially offset by declines in the commercial transportation market

of 3%.

Howmet Aerospace reported Net Income

of $385 million, or $0.95 per share, in the third quarter 2025 versus $332 million, or $0.81 per share, in the third quarter 2024. Net

Income excluding special items was $385 million, or $0.95 per share, in the third quarter 2025, versus $290 million, or $0.71 per share,

in the third quarter 2024; there was no impact from special items in the third quarter of 2025.

Third quarter 2025 Operating Income and

Operating Income excluding special items were both $542 million, up 29% year over year. Operating Income Margin was 25.9%, up approximately

300 basis points year over year. Third quarter 2025 Adjusted Operating Income Margin excluding special items was 25.9%, up approximately

310 basis points year over year.

Third quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA excluding

special items was $614 million, up 26% year over year. The year-over-year increase was driven by strong growth in the commercial aerospace,

defense aerospace, and industrial and other markets. Adjusted EBITDA margin excluding special items was up approximately 290 basis points

year over year at 29.4%.

Howmet Aerospace Executive Chairman and

Chief Executive Officer John Plant said, “The Howmet team drove a very strong third quarter, with results exceeding the high end

of guidance on all metrics. Notably, revenue growth accelerated to 14% year over year, versus 8% growth in the first half, driven by

healthy demand across the commercial aerospace, defense aerospace, and industrial and other markets. Adjusted EBITDA Margin*was solid at 29.4%, up 290 basis points year over year. Free Cash Flow was $423 million after $108 million of capital expenditures, as

Howmet continues to invest in growth, which is backed by customer contracts.”

Mr. Plant continued, “Strong

cash generation supported continued return of cash to shareholders, with $200 million of share repurchases in the third quarter 2025

and an additional $100 million in October, bringing year-to-date repurchases to $600 million. Furthermore, the Board of Directors declared

a 20% increase in the common stock dividend to $0.12 per share in the third quarter 2025. The Company also paid down $63 million of debt

in the quarter, further strengthening the balance sheet.”

“Turning to 2026, the outlook across

most of our major end markets remains solid. Air traffic continues to grow and the backlog of commercial aircraft extends through the

decade, providing for both solid commercial aerospace original equipment demand and growing demand for engine spares. The defense aerospace

market remains strong across F-35 demand in addition to legacy fighters. Growing power demand to support data center builds bolsters

the industrial gas turbine and aeroderivative market. However, the commercial transportation market remains weak. Our 2026 outlook envisions

revenue of approximately $9 billion, up ~10% year over year.”

1 Reconciliations of the forward-looking

non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, as well as the directly comparable GAAP measures,

are not available without unreasonable efforts due to the variability and complexity of the charges and other components excluded from

the non-GAAP measures, such as gains or losses on sales of assets, taxes, and any future restructuring or impairment charges. In addition,

there is inherent variability already included in the GAAP measures, including, but not limited to, price/mix and volume. Howmet Aerospace

believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors.

Howmet Aerospace will hold its quarterly

In order to calculate both basic and diluted earnings per share, preferred stock dividends declared of less than $1 for the quarters presented need to be subtracted from Net income.

For the quarters presented, the difference between the diluted average number of shares and the basic average number of shares relates to share equivalents associated with outstanding restricted stock unit awards and employee stock options.

(3)

As average shares outstanding are used in the calculation of both basic and diluted earnings per share, the full impact of share repurchases is not fully realized in earnings per share ("EPS") in the period of repurchase since share repurchases may occur at varying points during a period.

Free cash flow

$

The

Accounts Receivable Securitization program remains unchanged at $250 outstanding.

Free

cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because management reviews

cash flows generated from operations after taking into consideration capital expenditures (due to the fact that these expenditures are

considered necessary to maintain and expand the Company's asset base and are expected to generate future cash flows from operations).

It is important to note that Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since

other non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt service requirements, are not deducted from the measure.

Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management

believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA provides additional information with respect

to the Company's operating performance and the Company’s ability to meet its financial obligations. The Total Segment Adjusted

EBITDA presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Howmet’s definition of Total Segment Adjusted

EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) is net margin plus an add-back for depreciation and amortization.

Net margin is equivalent to Sales minus the following items: Cost of goods sold; Selling, general administrative, and other expenses;

Research and development expenses; and Provision for depreciation and amortization. Special items, including Restructuring and other

charges (credits), are excluded from net margin and Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Differences between the total segment and consolidated totals

are in Corporate.

Diluted EPS excluding Special items

Net

income excluding Special items and Diluted EPS excluding Special items are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that these

measures are meaningful to investors because management reviews the operating results of the Company excluding the impacts of Restructuring

and other charges (credits), Discrete tax items, and Other special items (collectively, “Special items”). There can be no

assurances that additional Special items will not occur in future periods. To compensate for this limitation, management believes that

it is appropriate to consider both Net income and Diluted EPS determined under GAAP as well as Net income excluding Special items and

Diluted EPS excluding Special items.

(1)

The Tax impact of Pre-tax special items is based on the applicable statutory rates whereby the difference between such rates and the Company’s consolidated estimated annual effective tax rate is itself a Special item.

(2)

Discrete tax items for each period included the following:

·

for 3Q24, a net benefit related to additional U.S. federal and state research and development ("R&D") credits claimed for prior years upon completion of the Company's R&D study ($44), and an excess tax benefit for stock compensation ($2);

·

for 2Q25, benefits related to U.S. accounting method changes for certain prior period transaction and other costs ($17), an excess benefit for stock compensation ($13), and a net benefit related to U.S. federal and state R&D credits claimed for prior years ($5).

·

for 3Q25, a net benefit for other small items of ($1).

Effective tax rate determined under GAAP as well as the Operational tax rate.
